gong xi FAR cai.. Why oh why is moi 'Cai' so Far???
T'is the Season to be jolly (rich) where people visit each others' places with two normally-recycled-from-the-last-visit mandrin oranges in their normally-recycled-from-the-last-visit little red bags, carried with them ang baos in their normally-recycled-from-last-received ang bao packets (to save $$) and eat and be merry. All was good, Chinese traditions: wear red and only red; reprimanding is not encouraged and gambling is ideal for winning u more money (ever thought why some ppl lose so that others win??)
If i'm to be ever so free in any time of the year- it'd be during this special festive season which so represents and reminds me of moi Chinese roots. Yes, What do i do? Open my house for visiting but never visiting. which means i've to do cleaning up after cleaning each time someone visits. If cleaning up moi room- tucking in all moi national flags, girls' stuff and well.. stuff into moi almost-busting cupboard which is also home to moi other toys-turned-momentos-turned-rubbish which i still cant bear to part with; (Its just as good as telling a garung guni man to clear whatever 'trash' he has collected after a hard day's of work.), i still have to help clean out every inch of dirt dutifully left by each member of the household in the toliet bowl. Scrubbing every tile and combing the sides of the towl bowl isnt as exciting as combing the tasty sides of a bowl of deliciously baked Sheperd's pie. (diff: the latter's an ingredient of the junk found in the former) Ok, i shan't gross u guys out during this wonderful festive season where you clean the house for a few days only so that it'll be horrendously soiled again in a few hours on this special day.
While ppl are happily soiling the ground i polished, i am left in the dismal boredom of my own, awaiting of Self-Entertainment. I'm quite capable of entertaining myself now since i've got years of experience- not only from this annual festival of coz, but oh, also from times when i'm stuck with boring ppl or when ppl are so diplomatic you'd rather talk to urself than hear them polish and make their different masks shine.
But its ok, cos my 8-hour ordeal ended when moi cousin,friends and of coz moi darling came. They made CNY alot more fun! Tho moi cousin can only stay till 7,moi buddies were game enough to stay till 10- when all have left, and den to clear the debris together.It was fun to have company and at least have ppl to entertain each other rather than me, myself and I. Mulan was GREAT!! i love Reflection by coco lee.
and so.. this was moi chinese new year..
Tmr's work, and die.. i just got a Hanna Tatoo on moi hand.. wonder wad's moi boss's response? It doesnt help that he's an old-though-still-think-he's-young man and i, a young rebel.
